left bank books, how cool is this place?it is no secret to previous visitors of this blog how much I love manhattan. this last monday I found myself spontaneously visiting some of my old haunts in the west village. I was amazed at the flood of memories I experienced - seeing places I haven't been too in years. while I remember many a book store throughout lower manhattan I can't say for sure if I've ever been toleft bank books. and oh my, what a pleasant surprise this place proved to be! there was a sign on the door that said something to the effect of, "we're a mess, knock if you'd like to come in" only, we didn't read it until we were half way through the door, but thankfully the proprietor welcomed us anyway. there was such a good vibe in this tiny little store and what did we see before us upon entering, but a book my son and I both immediately knew was meant for us to buy. to make matters even more astounding, it was 70 percent off! you can barely see the top of his cap but there was a cute looking gentlemen hiding behind the stack of books on your right. he said it was ok for me to photograph the shop as long as I didn't photograph him, warning us he was a fugitive of the law.I love ny.
